100% except perhaps we don't agree on who is doing that.

Look at marjorie taylor green's most recent insanity.

"accusation in a mirror."

and it goes far beyond a handful of loud extremists who are given megaphones from the 'less-extreme' in their party (are they really the minority then?)

the Fox news led contingent have been screaming this 'under attack' narrative.

and they are openly setting the conditions for IRL violence.

Othering trans & queer people. freaking attacking drag queens which is SO silly..

claiming we are pedo groomers who give out hormones to tweens like candy. saying your identity will no longer be people like you in the future, straight & cis.

child abusers seem to be the one class that it's still acceptable to openly wish violence upon.

telling their audience to 'take a stand' or else lose their entire existence & identity produces extremism and prods armed extremists to show up in real life.

they are bringing guns to shut down libraries, ban books, pile into vans to go attack pride, passing discriminatory laws.

not even touching on poc, immigrants, & attacks on democracy/jan 6; i'm focusing on my identity since I can better speak to it. which btw funny how there is always an eminent caravan invasion (a specifically chosen word) right before the election.

we have always been victims of violence.

but this is a much bigger boiling kettle and one group is stoking the fire.

i clearly see this fear in the eyes of a large & heavily armed group.

they think they are under attack. what will they do to 'protect themselves and save our country'? what happens when the kettle boils over?

they're pointing those guns at me.
